!!!! A warning that our electricity is being turned off on Monday morning (12th August) between 9.00 and 12.30. Not ideal!
We hope it won't affect us as a generator should kick in......🤞🤞

However, if this fails we will need to divert the phone line to a mobile, so please bear with us on Monday morning if you cant get straight through to us.

If it is NOT an emergency, please delay your call until later in the day. This will ensure that the line is kept clear for emergencies in the morning.

Thank you for your co-operation.

Due to the recent adverse weather, sadly all competition at Moreton (1) on Saturday 16th & Sunday 17th March has been abandoned, however, we are working with the Organiser to see if we can reschedule this fixture to make sure that our members have as many options to compete in the early part of the season as possible.

Please see the important advice below and let us know if you have any un-used or out of date anti-biotics 🐴🐴 - we are happy to dispose of them for you or answer any questions you may have relating to this.

Don’t hoard unused antibiotics for a rainy day. Instead, we're asking horse owners to give leftover antibiotics back to their vet when they next visit.

Why should you give them back:
💊It's better for our horses
"Giving random, leftover or old antibiotics to your horse for a suspected infection could make things worse" Dave Rendle, BEVA Immediate Past President

🥬It's better for the environment
“It is crucial not to throw old medicines away in the rubbish or flush them down the loo, as they can eventually return to the environment, contaminating soil and watercourses and cause damage to wildlife,” Roger Smith, BEVA President
